I have used dexedrine for almost 16 years (since 5th grade) and agree that it has been a life-saver. To be completely honest, I never write reviews like this, however, I know I wouldn't be the successful ivy league graduate I am today without dexedrine. I take a low dose- 5 mg twice a day - which has made an enormous difference. Dexedrine makes me feel refreshed, focused, and efficient. I have ne...

When I stayed consistantly on it, this worked great. Its took a little over a month for me to get used to it. But the withdrawl is not pleasant, mostly depression issues were more evident. Its the only one of all the drugs that has worked for me.

I was currently on a regime of Adderall 20mgs 3xday. I switched to XR Dexedrine 15mgs 2xday. The difference is night and day. It seemed like Adderall had ups and downs on my ability to concentrate and stay on task. While Dexedrine seemed a lot more level throughout that day with no dips in concentration and staying on task.

I've been taking this drug for over a year now for adult ADD. I believe this is a wonder drug that has enabled me to resume a normal life. When I take it every morning I don't really feel anything, but to go without it my mind wanders and can't remain focused. I only wished I had discovered this drug earlier in life. I had always thought it was normal for me to daydream and not being able to focus. Not anymore!

Effective for weight loss -- I had a severe obesity problem and turned to dexedrine for a short while -- but I did feel some heart palpitations and was also afraid of developing an addiction.
